Let’s face it so many of us don’t mind piling on a few pounds over the colder months only to find we can’t fit into our shorts or swim gear and if we are lucky enough to be traveling abroad we have to do something about it and fast!

And once again its hooray for our smartphones as not only do they enable us to carry out those tasks that would take precious time from our busy days but there are apps that can help us shed those excess pounds helping us to become once again limber and lean.

Today, we are able to do our banking, browse, shop and pay for good as well as source our entertainment like playing roulette with a live dealer so it’s not that surprising that we can also use our portable computers to help us get back in shape.
